Current Exhibit
The current gallery exhibit “North Carolina School for the Deaf: Then and Now” focuses on the rich history of the North Carolina School for the Deaf. The exhibit was made possible through a collaborative effort of Historic Burke Foundation and the North Carolina School for the Deaf Historical Museum.
The exhibit committee included volunteers Lynne Galvin, Coordinator/Instructor of Interior Design at Western Piedmont Community College and Paisley Holloway, a student in Interior Design at Western Piedmont.
The exhibit was mounted with invaluable assistance from Terrell Finley, Director of Mountain Gateway Museum in Old Fort, and Matthew Provancha , Museum Technician/Mount Maker with Mountain Gateway Museum.
